Notes


Season Recap

Justin Barcia opened the season with his second consecutive win at Anaheim 1. One week later, Ken Roczen took his first win three years after suffering a hard crash that had left him with a badly injured arm. At Round 3, Eli Tomac became the third different winner in as many races to open the 2020 season. Roczen and Tomac would proceed to dominate the middle portion of the season, with the exception of the San Diego Supercross where defending champion Cooper Webb took the victory. After the season was suspended by the COVID-19 pandemic, Feld Motor Sports announced the season would finish in four weeks with seven rounds in Salt Lake City, with Sunday and Wednesday rounds only. Webb and Tomac would win most of the races while Roczen and Zach Osborne would each win 1. Tomac would win the title.
